In my honest opinion, i think Thor 4 will be his last solo movie, and thor 5 will be either main character be thor female.

I think after Love and Thunder, we will see thor as a cameo on other Marvel movie a bit like Tony or Nick Fury did

I'm surprised. I know Thor is meant to be out of shape now, but I expected him to be ready to leave the role so he didn't have to keep up the ridiculous exercise regime any longer.

Well he might be my favorite part of the MCU, so this is good news for me!
Just stellar casting, he's born to play this part.

Great news. Taika really rejuvenated the character a lot with Ragnarok. Can't wait for more Thor.

As long as they bring back Loki I am ok with it.

Loki was easily one the best characters that came out of the MCU.

Who won? "I put the beast in bestiality" Zeus or the narcoleptic redhead?

Loki was okay, the weird fandom around him just soured the character for me

Crazy how my least favorite casting in the MCU became one of my favorites with time. That said I don't blame Hemsworth for Thor 1+2, I blame Dutch angles.

Great news. You can tell his still has plenty of passion and juice to keep going. Ragnorak should be looked at as the start of a new Thor trilogy

He was the last one to get a decent movie so it would be a shame to see him go away like the rest, they had their time to shine (or still have a chance to, like the Hawkeye series and the Black Widow movie)

Any word on what they are doing with Ruffalo's Bruce/Hulk?

Of the OG Avengers, we still have Widow, Hawkeye, Thor, and I suspect we'll still see Fury moving forward.

But I feel like there is still a story to tell with Hulk. In Endgame we got his resolution with Professor Hulk but it felt like there were gaps in that development.

Him and Thor were just so good in Ragnarok that I was expecting them to go in a different direction.

I mean what they accomplished with him with regards to character development and the tonal shift in his movies is nothing short of remarkable. I thought the first 2 thor movies were pretty bleh but loved Ragnarok and Infinity war/endgame thor.

I would be happy to keep watching him play Thor for the rest of my life, so long as he was enjoying it.

Sidenote: Thor's rehabilitation from boring God of Thunder, to funny ass sidekick is one of the most amazing tonal shifts I've seen. What a huge change.

It is definitely a delight what they did with the characters, one of the few instances where Marvel Movies have totally won me over

He's young yet. He's probably got at least another decade in him, looking at Hugh Jackman's tenure as Wolverine.

For his other work I've only seen him in minor roles. I don't think he's getting a big list of offers, and he can accept those offers and still be Thor anyway.
Thor is his meal ticket. No need to give it up when there's not much else on the table.

I'm glad, Hemsworth's take on the character is on the same level of MCU Iron Man and Cap for elevating the character beyond the traditional comic book take imo. I can understand how long term fans of the source material can feel rubbed the wrong way, and I will also admit that the performance didn't fully play to Hemsworth's full strength until Ragnarok in my eyes (imo Hemsworth did at least explore all of his strengths in a less cohesive manner through a variety of scenes up until Ragnarok but Ragnarok just let it all shine out strong), but now that it's taken full stride and Hemsworth's seemingly committed for the long haul, I'm genuinely happy it'll be around.

Well... 💵 💵 💵 💵

Though he is perfect for the role, I hope Waititi will direct even another one after Love & Thunder

Chris also revealed teased information about the next 'Thor' movie, revealing it will feature "a lot of love".

Quicksilver. And Vision, although it'll be interesting to see how they handle it with WandaVision.

I'd be surprised if Quicksilver's screen time reached half an hour; calling him a "main character" is just plain old wrong (plus wasn't he killed because Fox owned the rights to the character at the time?). And, as you say, Vision was killed a couple movies ago and he's going to appear in WandaVision anyway.

The gates of Death are a revolving door in Marvel comics; it's pretty obvious movies aren't concerning themselves too much with it, either. BW coming back is a question of Johansson and the writers wanting her to, not upholding the sacred canon.
